The Art of Home-Making Mondays ~ Please Join Us ~ Link Up #39

"To plough a straight furrow on Monday, or dust a room well on Tuesday, or kiss a bumped forehead on Wednesday, is worth more than the most ecstatic thrill under Sunday eloquence. Spirituality is seeing God in common things and showing God in common tasks."

~ Maltbie D. Bacock

Ooooh, I loved her red and white kitchen! She's right about the type of home we're trying to create too. I've just always wanted my home to be something that my family can relax in, and want to come home to or have friends over, etc.

Great quote beneath your picture. God is not just for Sunday. We live for Him every day and He's in everything we do and say and in the love that we show others. Dusting a room may not seem like much, but when you're doing it for the Lord and for your family it takes on a whole different meaning! Thanks for hosting today.

What a beautiful red and white kitchen! I've saved it on my desktop to be able to just 'stand' in it, and look around at all the pretty, vintage touches. Thanks for hosting, JES, and wishing you a wonderful week!

I love all the goodies I find here each week Jess. Your site is soooo inviting. And I just scored 27 free history lapbooking resources for the next couple years. Way excited about that. Thank you for faithfully hosting. (And I agree with Amy--your site is so beautiful!)Blessings,

Oh my, I really love the image you posted today. It takes me back to the years (3) we lived in Germany. Of course, the there people don't wear traditional clothing any longer, but the dirndl skirts and leder hosen are still sold in a lot of stores for tourists and for festivals. The cabinet on the left side of the picture is a shrunk. They usually have them in every room in their houses (except for the bathrooms) as they don't have closets in their homes. And isn't that a gorgeous window! Love it. Have a great Monday!

Hello!! I am new to your blog and also to your party!! I linked up a few posts . I hope they are right for this party because my posts are all about my home which is my passion!!Love your features!!Thanks so much for hosting!!

Welcome! A little introduction… I am an old-fashioned, Bible-believing, wife to my "one and only" for 20 years, homeschooling mother, who embraces her role as "keeper at home". We live on a 25-acre prairie farm.For fun… my three main earthly weaknesses (in no particular order) are coffee, dark chocolate and hardcover books. What about you? My hope is that this blog will inspire you in the arts of homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading. Visit here for 10 random facts about me... Have a beautiful day! ~ JES

"The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies. A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness. God sends many beautiful things to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows in a mother who has learned love's lessons well, and has realized something of the meaning of her sacred calling."

"She (the godly wife and mother) is a mighty warrior queen who fights righteous battles at her husband's side and reigns with him over the home and domain God has given them as they work together for Christ's eternal Kingdom and glory."

"There is nothing in the daily routine of the family life that is unimportant. Indeed, it is ofttimes the things we think of as without influence that will be found to have made the deepest impression on the tender lives of the household." ~ Excerpt from The Family

“And there are my children! My darling, precious children! For their sakes I am continually constrained to seek after an amended, a sanctified life; what I want them to become I must become myself."
